I was visiting the Grand Mosque in Muscat on Tuesday, March 5th 2013 during my stay in Oman. I noticed a photographer trying to capture the portrait of three Omanis who were sitting near the entrance of the Mosque. The whole scene looked quite unusual in my eyes so I moved as quickly as possible to capture that moment and to ''photograph the photographer''... This is why I love this photo.

I'm a landscape photographer based in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Member of the Royal Photographic Society since 2007 and of the Hellenic Photographic Society of Crete since 2009.
Born in Thessaloniki, Northern Greece in 1970. During my studies at Northumbria University in Newcastle, England back in 1992 I have discovered for the first time my passion for photography. Since then I spend most of my free time chasing the right light, angle & composition. I prefer to capture scenes at the extremes of the day, where the results are most dramatic. I'm particularly attracted by the beauty and wilderness of the Aegean Islands in winter.
I started with analog cameras, nowadays I continue with digital cameras, using new techniques and giving more possibilities in landscape photography.

RPS_The Royal Photographic Society

The Royal Photographic Society was founded in 1853 'to promote the Art and Science of Photography', a mission it continues to this day in the United Kingdom and through its considerable overseas membership.

The Cretan section of the Hellenic Photographic Society (H.P.S.) was founded in Iraklio in 1964. Love for the art of photography prompted a group of people to set as their goal the further expansion of this art form, along with the initiation into its secrets of as many others as possible.
